National Drugs Strategy 2001-2008: Statements.

 

In many instances the fund is being used in conjunction with other funds. In an ideal world, there would be just one Government fund allocated to top up the community or local contribution. That does not happen in the suburbs of Dublin which tend to have just one social class. It is very difficult for such communities, but it might be different in a country town where there is a range of social classes. In many cases the different Government funds act as the community funds. We are trying to address that so people will get funding from only one source, but it is difficult to row back after 15 or 20 years of doing otherwise.
